Yes, you can do it like that, you can hotkey any key to do speed dial, you can have your 3 most called numbers at the top of the calls screen for easy access... pretty much everything you could do on the Q10 plus use BlackBerry Assistant to voice dial

If i don't assign any photo to my contacts, does their name and number appear on a plain background when they call or is it some Face icon that appears on the whole screen with the contacts name and number. Like below. I hope it's the former.

Sure, the thing is optimized for viewing work and browsing, but what about the PHONE CALLS?

Is the wide form factor an issue when holding it to your ear?

No. Why would it be?

For me the bottom right corner is between my pinky and ring finger, opposite side rests on my thumb, index finger touching the back of the top/front corner. Real comfortable. Sort of how you hold a deck of cards.

And the audio is excellent for both parties even in a loud environment.
